Dissassembling a K850i |

Has anyone figured out how to take it apart yet?
My keyboard is on slightly lopsided and u can see part of the backlight in dark conditions. Otherwise its working ok and I am content to wait for the firmware upgrade (as its my 3rd one from O2 and the first 2 had hardware problems). My o.d k700i could be stripped down completely to fix any minor issues like this,,
I know it sounds slightly OCD but it is irritating, even though its maybe the equivalent of 1-2 pixels max.

I think most owners would like to know how to dissasemble their phones, should a replacement housing be required or should they see a different coloured housing.
I think all SE phones so far have been taken apart, the K850i should be no exception.

won't you void the guarantee if you open it yourself?

also, when the battery cover is open and u look at the base of the phone, it appears as if the back panel (the camera side) just slides into a ridge on each side....... |
